EA LA team gives first hints on next Command & Conquer game

Earlier this evening, EA LA vice president Mark Skaggs sent a surreptitious e-mail to the Command & Conquer fan newsletter list that stated, "We are very proud to announce that the team that brought you Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge, and Command & Conquer: Generals has officially started work on our next project set in the Red Alert universe!" In the same e-mail, Skaggs went on to reveal that the new game will be powered by the SAGE engine, the same technology that the studio used for Command & Conquer: Generals, then later modified heavily for The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth.

The e-mail went on to state that an official announcement would be made "soon." GameSpot will have more details as they become available.
